Regulatory impact assessment

The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) prepared a Stage 2 Cost Recovery Impact Statement (CRIS2) on 3 April 2018 for these regulations to help inform the decisions taken by the Government in relation to the contents of this instrument. The MPI Regulatory Impact Analysis Panel reviewed the CRIS2 and considered that the information and analysis summarised in it met the Panel’s current understanding of the quality assurance criteria.
